History
[edit]After the dismantlement of the Aerautodromo di Modena, starting from the 1960s, the Emilian city found itself without a racetrack. Soon then began attempts to build a new one.
With the advent of the new millennium a project was put in place for the construction of a new circuit near Marzaglia, Province of Modena. The project, showed in December 2007, planned the construction of a track of roughly 1600m in length, with an amble box space, whose inauguration was planned in 2011.[1] The track was then lengthened to 2007 meters, creating tensions between the Regional Environmental Protection Agency and the urban planners of Modena,[2] but it was then been lit for its actual conformation.
In 2022, the municipality of Modena approved a lengthening of the autodrome,[3] which consists in the addition of a straight 1 kilometer long, which will increase track length to 4150 meters.[4]
Today, the track is used for a wide range of events, from car and bike manufacturers tests to historic rallies and safe driving courses.
The Circuit
[edit]The track, which is 2068 meters long, has various elevation changes and alternates a straight of 400 meters with eleven corners. If needed, the straights can become two by skipping turn 5 and linking turn 4 with turn 6.[5] In 2014, a variation was added in the last corner, with a tighter radius.
